Wielder of the Omnitrix

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto or Ben-10, but I do own this fic as well as any original techniques and the like.

--This is just something that I started writing during my six month absence of The ANBU Shadows, and just have been too lazy to bother typing the thing. I wrote a whole bunch of random things while I was a way, and I may or may not share them all, we'll see. In this Naruto will be more reminiscent in appearance to Menma, but will still be Naruto. Anyways, enjoy. Ja ne.--

The sky is clear, and the stars can be seen for miles. A young, raven-haired child who was driven from his home and has no qualms about sleeping in the wilderness gazes up at the sky while lying on his back. The boy has piercing emerald eyes, three whisker-like birthmarks on each cheek, and is currently adorned only in black and orange boxers, while his shirt and pants dry on a nearby branch.

This is Naruto Uzumaki, the 'demon' of Konoha that killed the Yondaime Hokage. The truth is that the real creature that killed the Yondaime is actually sealed within Naruto; although he is clueless to that fact. He just knows that the villagers don't like him, not that he likes them himself. Only two people have ever really been there for him; the Sandaime Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi -- an elderly man who is always smoking an old pipe -- and Iruka Umino -- an Academy teacher who has helped Naruto on a number of occasions.

Naruto used to have a place to live within the walls of Konoha, but the villagers ransacked the apartment and burnt it to the ground. Hiruzen doesn't even know about it, but what was done was done, and there was nothing that could be done about it, and Naruto had already been driven from the village.

Two years ago however was the worst. Naruto had just turned six, and the villagers stormed the place that he had been living and dragged him out to the center of the village where they proceeded to beat, cut, and burn him. He had only been spared when the ANBU -- the village's guardians as well as the personal guardians of the Hokage -- had finally arrived and forced the villagers away, as well as arrested a handful of the attackers.

Naruto had been taken to the hospital, but they refused to treat him since he was considered to be demonspawn, and didn't deserve to receive the medical aid of the hospital staff. Hiruzen had almost tore the hospital down in his anger, but managed to keep his cool, and threatened to take away the doctor's medical licenses if they continued to refuse administering Naruto medical aid; but by the time they finally agreed to help, there wasn't much to do since the demon within him had already healed him. The hospital pretty much threw him out after that.

His next birthday was similar, but not as bad as the previous year. He was still injured, but managed to get away from the mob, and get to one of his hiding places where he was safe until dark when he would then sneak back to his apartment. The most recent birthday however sucked in his opinion. It was the day he was driven from the village, but to be honest, he doesn't mind all that much. He camps out within a hollowed out tree that he had eventually found.

He fashioned a makeshift ladder for the inside of the tree since it's easier to climb the outside of the trunk compared to the smoother inside of the trunk. He had a makeshift bed made of the sheets and blankets he used to use before he was driven out, and had snuck back in to grab. The tree is fairly large in both height and diameter. He can lie down within it, and it remains reasonably dry within -- even when it rains -- since he covers the entrance with a waterproof cover that's colored to match the bark of the tree.

However, none of that bothers him as he stares up at the stars, and waits for his clothes to dry. He closes his eyes and stretches, and when he opens them, something catches his eye in the sky. It almost resembles a shooting star, but its course is wrong since it seems to be coming closer. Correction, it is coming closer.
